When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. (John 19:26-27 ESV)

you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily,

An Apple a Day: Hebrews 1:3

Hebrews 1:3 (NLT)

The Son radiates God's own glory and expresses

the very character of God, and he sustains everything

by the mighty power of his command. When he had

cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place

of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven.

An Apple a Day: Galatians 2:20

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live,
but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.


Please pray for those who do not have a personal relationship
with Jesus.  It is important that we witness to others.  Our
time is short and it is time to help others find Christ before it is
too late.


Have a blessed Friday everyone!

[Jesus Again Predicts His Death] As Jesus was

going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside

privately and told them what was going to happen to 
him.";Listen,"; he said, ";we're going up to Jerusalem, 

where the Son of Man will be betrayed to the leading priests

and the teachers of religious law. They will sentence him to die.

Then they will hand him over to the Romans to be mocked, flogged with 
a whip, and crucified. But on the third day he will be raised from the dead."

Let's Pray
Father, I am so tired of playing it safe, 

of bowing to the wrong crowd and listening to 
the wrong voices. I lay down my pride and surrender

to You and Your plan for my life in 
this New Year. Stretch my faith. Give me Your eyes

to see those in need. Fill me with 
Your power and strength so that others

will be drawn to You. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
